Lesson 67: How to Glow in the Dark (Luke 11:33-36)

Children in churches everywhere learn songs about having a light, being a light, and sharing their light; this passage likely gave inspiration toward those songs. Jesus used a practical illustration for the crowds that came to hear His teaching—“What do you do (and don’t do) with a lamp?” We still have the responsibility today to understand how to use the light (the truth) that Jesus delivered to His original audience. Pastor Daniel helps us further understand this lamp/light/truth illustration by breaking it down into the following instructions: 1) Find light in God’s Word. 2) Understand how truth is received. 3) Watch out for the dark. 4) Live fully in the light. These principles help us to walk in the light…or more colorfully, to glow in the dark.
